Kailasa Temple Site-Emblem T-Shirt, India

Cave 16 at Ellora, printed with the geometry that made it possible: a cross-section showing how the Kailasa temple was carved downward from a single basalt mass, not built upward from a foundation. Site name, country and our own catalogued coordinates, 20.026389 N, 75.179167 E, printed beneath the artwork.

• Engraved cross-section diagram showing Kailasa's top-down excavation method
• Exact coordinates (20.026389, 75.179167) printed beneath the artwork, pulled from Pyramason's own database
• Site name and country (India) clearly labelled
• Soft, pre-shrunk cotton in basalt-grey and deep charcoal colourways matching the temple's real stone

Why this site. Kailasa is one of the only monuments on Earth made entirely by removing material rather than adding it: roughly 200,000 tonnes of basalt cut away, top down, with Iron Age tools and no possibility of correcting a mistake. We make no geometry claim about the surrounding region, because our atlas holds only three catalogued sites within 200 kilometres and that is far too few to test. The Deccan is a coverage gap on our side, not a verdict on India.
